The plot: A couple visit a fertility clinic, not knowing that they also do research into human cloning... and devil worship. And book publishing.This is an outright, brazen ripoff of Rosemary's Baby, though it's also somewhat influenced by other supernatural thrillers, such as The Omen. If you've seen Rosemary's Baby, you really don't need to see this. It's got a pretty decent cast, but that's about the best I can say for it.There were some half-decent ideas here, and I think that they could have worked in the hands of a better director. I'm not saying that they were good ideas, but a skilled exploitation director could have turned this into an enjoyable, derivative waste of time. Instead, we get a somewhat inept attempt to plagiarize one of my favorite horror movies.Despite all its faults, it's still watchable. I can't recommend it, though.

If it hadn't been the good performance of Heather I would not have completed the film..a total fail,,a friend told me it was not to be seen but, I did not think it was that bad,,Despite the fact it does not have a plot which normally spiritual film must have, the sequence was very confusing not to mention the ending .. A total disaster. Some shots were very unclear and got me totally lost , who's the bad and who is the good, guys what were you thinking... I mean people were going to see and pay money to see the movie not just through away time and money. I think the idea of the film was attractive but certainly the plot was a disaster. But the worst part was the end,,,so what do they want me to know or I just leave without a clue what I was watching for more than 90 min. And by the way evil is not that clever OK

When Samantha Howard (played by gorgeous Heather Graham) and her husband Craig decide that the time is right to start a family, they find that becoming pregnant isn't as easy as they had at first hoped.Now personally, if I was having trouble getting Ms. Graham up the duff, I'd persevere and keep trying the way nature intended (two or three times a day should suffice, more if she was to wear roller boots and hot-pants); but rather than submit himself to the chore of regularly bunking up with his hot wife, Craig agrees to take her to a remote fertility clinic in the country where she can receive IVF treatment. Unfortunately, the owner of the facility is a devil worshipper who is trying to clone Lucifer, using Heather's eggs, her husbands sperm, and a drop or two of blood from Satan himself.Despite solid performances from a more than capable cast (Graham, Purefoy, Stella Stevens, David Hemmings and Andy Serkis), this tepid little occult thriller flounders due to a lack of chills and a 'seen-it-all-before' storyline (Rosemary's Baby did it all much better). The film ambles along quite nicely until Serkis's nutty priest appears after which it rapidly goes downhill. And the film's ending is quite ridiculous.Whilst not exactly boring, 'Blessed' really needed a creepy atmosphere and a few good scares in order to succeed, but unfortunately Simon Fellows's sedate direction provided neither, leaving me impressed only by Heather Graham and her very realistic prosthetic belly.

A gorgeous Manhattan couple (Heather Graham, James Purefoy) move to upstate New York after deciding to use a fertility clinic based there. All seems fine until a pregnant Graham starts feeling unusually painful scratching from her unborn twins. Suspicious of her husband's new business associate and friend (David Hemmings), Graham feels ignored and distanced from her hubby while simultaneously being stalked by a hooded man (Andy Serkis). A predictable, but fun climax, nice visuals, and some fun one-liners and campy dialog make Blessed a worthy film.Graham is clearly the star here, but Purefoy is absolutely sexy in this, and Fionnula Flanagan showcases her acting talent as Purefoy's suspicious agent fabulously. David Hemmings and Andy Serkis have some great lines, and Stella Stevens also stars as a nosy real-estate agent. Sort of reminds me of Rosemary's Baby or The Devil's Advocate a little bit.
